As part of the IPI Symposium on Media Freedom and Freedom of Information in Turkey, the first day of the event will focus entirely on Freedom of Information (FoI) and access to public data. Bringing together journalists, researchers and FoI experts from across Europe, the panel “What can international FoI experience offer us?” will explore how access-to-information mechanisms are used in different countries to strengthen investigative journalism, transparency and public accountability.

The session will highlight practical experiences, legal frameworks and advocacy strategies from Germany, Italy and Spain, while also reflecting on the challenges facing FoI practices in Turkey. Through comparative perspectives and cross-border dialogue, the panel aims to discuss how international experiences can contribute to improving transparency culture, access to information and data-driven journalism in Turkey.

15 Years of the Open Government Partnership

OGP Logo

Fifteen years ago, OGP launched with a simple but radical premise: that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Over fifteen years, OGP has become the foremost global forum for advancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in government.

In an era of democratic regression and geopolitical fragmentation, platforms that sustain targeted collaborations among likeminded states and between governments and civil society are strategically vital. OGP is one of the few to endure.

The next phase requires action across the partnership: Governments forming cross-border coalitions to address common priorities; political leaders integrating openness into core national agendas; donors and funders sustaining investment and enabling scale; civil society continuing to propose, push, monitor, and demand.

The question ahead is scale and commitment.
